Koh Green Stardust

Hello!

Another Koh today. Green Stardust also reminds me of Merry Midnight, but then green. Unlike Merry Midnight and Koh Blue Universe, the flakies don't shift orange/yellow but green/blue. And of course this one also has glitter.

It was good to go in 2 coats.

Enjoy the pics and hope to see you back here tomorrow!

Koh Blue Universe (blue version of Merry Midnight, yay)

Hi ladies!

There's something really wrong with my laptop, so I won't be able to use it until that's fixed. This is the first time I'm making a post on my phone, no idea if it actually works. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Today I'm showing you Koh Blue Universe. It really is a blue version of the very famous OPI Merry Midnight. Koh actually also has a polish that might be a dupe of MM and they also have a green version (which I'll show you another time).

I'm not a huge fan of Koh, especially because the cap is too small to get a good grip, but I love this color!! Application wasn't that bad either. I used 2 coats.

I'm curious what your experiences are with Koh. And if you like this color of course. I love it!

And i really really really hope this post turns out alright. Searching for the right pictures and editting them wasn't all that easy with a small screen like my phone.

Thanks for stopping by!

Glamourous but quite a few downsides

Hello!

Are you all enjoying your weekend? Mine is very busy. But besides working on friday night and today, it has only been fun stuff! I am very tired now, but it´s almost tuesday and that´s the day my weekend starts.

A new NOTD for you today. It´s Koh Glamourous Purple. And there´s a lot to say about this polish. It´s purple and it´s duochrome so I totally love the color! Application was very good as well, like the brush. But in my opinion it has quite a lot of downsides too.
First of all the cap which is very narrow. So although the brush was really good, holding on to it wasn´t as easy as with most other brands.
Another downside was the opacity. It needed 4 coats! I´m not really a 4 coats kind of girl. But as long as I love the color I am willing to do this.
That brings us to downside number 3... drying time. The first 2 layers dried really quick, but after that it got worse and worse. Even after fast drying topcoat it took about an hour and a half to dry completely.
And last but definitely not least is the price. It costs 15 euro for only 10ml. And since it´s sheer, 10ml will be finished quickly.
To be quite honest I think there´s a better alternative for this color. Nubar Purple Beach. Cheaper, 15ml for around 8,50euro, opaque in 2 coats, better cap, dries quicker. The color of course is not exactly the same, but I like it just a little more. You can find the comparison here http://miranniesnails.blogspot.com/2010/08/purple-duochrome-comparison.html

And here are the pics.

So, all together I wasn´t really satisfied about this polish, but still love the color.

As you can see I didn´t do clean up before the picture, because I wanted to have advantage of the sun before it went away again. And excuse me for the horrible cuticles. As soon as it gets colder, my hands get really dry. I do moisturize, but I just have a terrible skin. Did order Nfu Oh cuticle remover last night, I hope this way my cuticles will look better soon.

What do you think about this polish? Do you own it? What´s your general opinion about Koh?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope to see you back here soon!

Purple duochrome comparison

Good morning to all of you!


Today I have a comparison for you. Since I´m a sucker for duochromes and purple is my favorite color, I ended up buying quite a few of them. I thought it might be nice to do a comparison.

So here it is. From thumb to pink:
Zoya Adina, Koh Glamorous Purple, Nubar Purple Beach, Zoya Ki, Gosh Purple Heart

Don´t really remember how many coats I used for all of them. Sorry for the messy application, was a quick swatch.

Which one is your favorite of these? Mine is Nubar Purple Beach, but I really like all of them!

That´s it for now. Maybe I´ve made your choice a little easier.

Enjoy your weekend!!
